GREAT OCEAN ROAD & GOLDFIELDS EXPLORER

Our adventure begins in Victoria’s second-largest city Geelong, home to a stunning waterfront, charming cafés, and the famous Baywalk Bollards. From here we experience one of the world’s most spectacular coastal drives! The Great Ocean Road, snaking its way around 250 kilometres of the Southern Victorian Coast, offers some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. From the quaint seaside towns of Lorne and Apollo Bay to the iconic Twelve Apostles and dramatic Loch Ard Gorge, this journey is filled with unforgettable
ocean views and natural wonders.

Warrnambool is a picturesque coastal town located on the southwestern coast of Victoria. Known for its stunning ocean views, rich maritime history, and delicious local produce, we spend 2 nights here to soak up all that this town has to offer.

As we bid farewell to the coastal beauty of Warrnambool, we journey inland towards Ballarat, travelling through rolling countryside, charming rural towns, and picturesque  farmland. A city rich in history, grand architecture, and gold rush heritage, as one of Victoria’s most historically significant towns, Ballarat offers a fascinating glimpse into

Australia’s past, all while providing a charming and welcoming atmosphere.

After 2 enjoyable nights in Ballarat, we make our way back to Melbourne via Daylesford. A charming and tranquil town in Victoria’s Spa Country, renowned for its natural mineral springs and lush gardens.

Our journey comes to a close in the beautiful and bustling city of Melbourne. Melbourne is often described as Australia’s cultural capital, and for good reason. From world-class museums and art galleries to historic theatres and live music, the city is alive with creativity and character.
